10 Signs of a Master Manipulator

Do you marvel at how some people are always able to get their way? These are people who have extremely high manipulative tendencies. The reason they are hard to identify is that they employ rather innocent tactics. However, any innocent act when used with ill intent turns into a tool for manipulation.
DISCLAIMER: Please note this is for educational purposes. If you find yourself relating to one, two, or any of the following signs, it doesn’t automatically classify you as a master manipulator. Please note this is not meant to discredit anyone. This video is not a substitute for professional advice or self-diagnosis. We advise you to seek professional help if you can relate to any disorders mentioned.

    It makes problems, too. People generally don't like being manipulated. Some people may not pick up that you're doing it, but people who have survived things like narcissistic abuse (or are themselves manipulators) will see through your tricks. I recently called out a former friend on his bad behavior (including manipulative BS), he responded by disappearing for a few weeks and then trying to tell all my friends that I'm secretly a bad person. Ironic.

    I just saved myself from a 6 year intimate relationship with a MM. When I ended it, he told me he thought it was a great decision that I was ‘taking control of my life’. And, hoped we could still be friends. He always said we could talk about anything, that I could ask anything but we never did. This was so accurate on all 10 signs!

    From what I've noticed in real life, master manipulative people have a few very common traits : 1. Never say what they really think, they only say what they know you would like to hear 2. They come across as kind and good intentioned (it is the mask they wear) 3. They never get visibly angry and never argue directly Master manipulators never show signs of ill intentions, this is what makes it even more insidious.

    @@freyintears Do you usually act and say things so that you gain people's trust and they do what you want? I will give you an example. My colleague from my previous work place (I worked there for 6 years and loved the job before she came in). She appeared nice and sweet and even offered to help with some things such as house hunting (which I didn't accept anyway as I like to do these things myself). Anyway for about 6 months I genuinely believed she was a sweet person. Then people's behaviour towards me at work started to change. Apparently she had befriended them too and knew exactly how to make them tick. She took about 20 phone numbers and would call them after work or before. I found out she would say things about me in an innocent way like for example.. She would pretend she is down and when people would ask her why she would lie that it's because of me, because I don't do my job properly and she has to work more. But then she would go ahead and say that she loved me and she didn't want to cause me trouble! I've known these people for years and many would believe all the suggestions and ideas she would implant in their heads. Oh yeah also one day the director asked me if I was happy with my job. I said yes, I still like what I do, why? He said he heard that I wasn't happy with my job anymore. Basically she told him this in an apparently 'well-intentioned' way so that she would implant in his mind that I have become desinterested. She knew damn well that every single one of her actions would cause me trouble but she did them so innocently, saying in the meantime that she cared about me. Another example, when I had proof in emails that would contradict what she wanted people to believe, she would delete the emails from clients, they would just disappear the next day. And everyone believed she was nice and well-intentioned.

    I would like to point out that the act of ignoring someone is not always manipulative. If someone is verbally abusing you and you didn't do anything to antagonize them, then ignoring that person actually is a reasonable response to verbal abuse. On the other hand, if you did something to antagonize the person and then ignore their response to it, preventing them from healthy resolution of their feelings, then yes, that's manipulative abuse.

Sad truth is in a lot of super religious or conservative places, many children are being manipulated by their greedy selfish ass parents, but being brainwashed that ignoring and or running away from the toxic parents/family are a bad thing, sinful. So a lot of people don't and won't get help, and living in a excruciating situation.

    @@corpsepuppy427 No, the difference is getting someone to react and shutting down their ability to get a response that would allow them to be calm and not overreact versus getting someone to just stop mistreating you. The second one isn't manipulation that's more trying to avoid being abused. If you were to pick at someone and then refuse to respond to their anger when they get upset and don't acknowledge them in any way and just ignore them, it's kind of abusive. Ignoring someone can be manipulation, but not always, and that's the point. I think not making that clear might mislead people into thinking that all times a person might ignore another is manipulative or abusive rather than it's only abusive depending on what's going on. @Vincent Lenart A lot of people are like this, and a lot of people go through this, and I've experienced it, too, more than once.

    Conversely, the people that actually do behave these ways, and the ones that are told so, tend to want to believe anything with the slightest sense of legitimacy, to convince themself that they are being gaslit/not gaslighting someone. Gaslighting is such a horrible concept, as there´s no way of deducing whether it´s the case, without a long and very self-reflective open conversation about what´s going on to prompt the feeling of "gaslighting". More often than not, people will use it to validate something that goes against objective reality, usually with an extremely shortsighted view to their intentions only. This all goes as much for the person supposedly gaslighting, to the person supposedly being gaslightet. One of the best ways to deal with this, is not to stigmatize another person one way or the other with the term, and have a long and introspective and open conversation about intend, actions, and consequenses etc.

    The thing is... As a borderline that have a boderline mom and a boderline grandmother, I hate manipulation and I hate that people assume that I am trying to manipulate them. I almost never lie (if I try people just know, I am a terrible liar), and I try to always be empathetic, admit my mistakes, I never assume people are trying to be evil, I think they only don't think as me. But, I am really sensitive, cry easily and explain my reason and way of thinking in a deep way... And as I am a boderline and my bf know, he, sometimes, think that I am trying to manipulate him with my feelings! I hate that so much! I am just expressing how I feel! I not even trying to make him do what I want, I am just explaining my side. So I really hate this word and hate the assumption that borderline are manipulative. This is really confuse and make me feel terrible. I feel that If I tell people how I feel they assume that is a manipulation... This is really terrible.

    The simple thing to do is to treat everyone based on how they act. Because at the end of the day, we'll never really know whether they were truly manipulative, or it's just their personality. So we act based on how they act. That way we won't make a mistake. We won't mistreat them. We won't hurt anyone. And we won't hurt ourselves either. That's the best way to resolve anything. Respond properly, correctly, and not overdo it.

    Heinley is actually at least as bad as Rashta It's just that Rashta is portrayed as the big bad guy in the series. She is in a kinda desperate position. Besides, she is pretty badly manipulated by Ergy and Rotteshu as she is surprisingly naive Sovie is just a bit stupid and very bad at communicating. As his marriage with Navier was a political one, finding a concubine was actually something that was seen as perfectly OK. Navier even tells Heinley that she will be ok with him finding a concubine Heinley. Where do I even start? - he is planning a war against the Eastern empire, while courting (later marrying) the empress of the Eastern empire - something about him doesn’t feel genuine - some have commented that he always smiles to people - he has a tendency to hold back the truth from Navier - he pushes her sexual and romantic borders to what is absolutely not ok - yes, he looks adorable, quirky and all that, but wasn't that the point of one of the points here? By how charming he is, I would bet HE is the main master manipulator in the series

    A manipulator can pretty much be summarized as one word: a coward. Someone who hides behind a shield of lies and deceit and avoids the consequences of their reality. You can tell they didn’t grow up with decent parenting in their life. Which is just as equally sad as them having to rely on cowardly behaviors in the first place. Honestly, they’re more of a disappointment than anything.

    Aleena: i personally have BPD, and i used to be, well, pretty toxic and had a LOT of these traits, and i admit that i was indeed a master manipulator, at certain points i even had other toxic people in my life to "victimise me" and blow my reactions out of proportion to gain sympathy with other friends who were good, when in all actuality i was only mildly upset and used those toxic people for validation by having them "make it up to me", or sometimes for aid in helping me on a video game to gain a "profit" in the digital sense. eventually once i started cutting out the toxic people and getting more into psychology, i started redirecting those manipulations solely to people who were good to me and took advantage of their kindness, and eventually, i realised i was in the wrong, but i had been doing this for years that i lost sight of what was manipulation and what wasn't, it was second nature at that point, baked into my behaviours, and eventually, one of the good friends i took advantage of, Aubrey, i had asked her "what exactly am i doing wrong? explain it to me" and she said something along the lines of "you act like you always have an angle" i think it was, or "you just act in a way that always hurts me" and i thanked her and it was a real slap in the face and i started bettering myself. i went around and asked my friends and started second guessing everything i did, constantly worrying how it came off, if it hurt them, and eventually learned real quick who was still toxic to me, because they got mad at me for ludicrous things, and they wanted the stability, even if our friendship was toxic. eventually, after a couple years, i got pretty good at not being manipulative on a daily basis. i still had a long ways to go, but now, year upon years later, i'm a hell of a lot better, and now have only a couple symptoms of my BPD left that i need to fix, and work on with our therapist. it took a long ass time to get here, but now i can be proud that this story, is just the recounting of the dark, and black pages of the story of my life, written in blood ink to represent how much i hurt others, and myself, and that those pages now do nothing but collect dust, and serve as dark and ominous reminders of how bad i can be, and what to never, EVER become again.

    Not true. There are innately good and bad people. It is fixed right from our birth. Coz the same experiences shape up a narcissist and a codependent. The choice you make is based on your own values that you are born with. This is why only some people can live by values like honesty, kindness...and others see it as a weakness. Our values are innate and even if it is taught to us by parents and teachers we will abide by it only if it's in us. And psychopaths are born not made by the environment. They have a dysfunctional brain right from birth.

    Just want to note that manipulation can also be unintentional, a lot of people end up using manipulative techniques without realizing especially socially. I believe so long as they're not making it a trend or intentionally doing it to harm you it's not necessarily something to hugely worry about. In fact, it is very common in family dynamics, someone may sway you to do as they wish with your best interests in mind too unintentionally purely out of wanting the best for you. I'm not excusing people who are blatantly manipulative and actively use it as a means to get what they want. But more avoid being too critical of others who may exhibit these traits on a subconscious level. It's very easy to get lost and start distrusting all those around you, I know I have a tendency to have trust issues around others. Best wishes to all of you, and if you are being quite rudely manipulated on a consistent basis, cut that person out of your life or don't fear saying no to them, try not to resort to emotional responses either, most people will tug you in their direction to get a reaction out of you, invoke a response and in that control, they can provoke the response they want.

    Recently I stopped talking to a friend who had a lot of these tendencies, at the beginning of our friendship I always felt inferior to her, and when she would deploy these techniques I never really realised it. Later on though, after I started building up my confidence and a backbone, I did start calling her out whenever she was manipulative. At one point she tried guilt tripping me, which I called out, then she tried gaslighting and lying to me about it which I also called her out on. After that point it kind of wasn't the same. After she left my city, where she was staying for a couple weeks, she started taking hours to respond which was very unlike her and started lying about what she was doing and so I called her out on it and told her if she didn't want to talk to me then the least she could is just tell me, and the amount of excuses and lies she made. Like oh I'm just not in a social mood, or I haven't had any time, etc. And she finally admitted at the end that she didn't care about me anymore or want to talk to me anymore these days, and that was it. We stopped talking, then like 3 days later she sent me a TikTok out of nowhere and never said anything. At first I was kind of relieved because I still wanted to be friends with her. I valued the time I spent with her, I liked her personality when she wasn't manipulative and acted childish and excited about different things, so I responded and I sent her a TikTok back but she never responded so I got annoyed and deleted those messages and simply asked her if she sent that TikTok by mistake and she still hasn't responded 4 days later. Is this another manipulative technique to see if she still has my attention or could have this been a genuine accident and if so why wouldn't she say it was or why wouldn't have she deleted it after she sent it if it was by accident?

    @@raynatha4450 General anxiety disorder is an anxiety disorder which is different from mood disorders. It's more commonly a vague label used temporarily until your therapist can narrow down the cause of the anxiety. It can be related to phobias, past or present abuse, and/or PTSD, as well as with co-existing illnesses. Any sort of big traumatic experience can cause anxiety because of the sudden and violent event shocks all of your systems and can create anxiety from the fear of it happening again or having flashbacks of the experience (which can affect the lymphatic system among others, causing the mental stress to translate into physiological bodily stress), so it's just like being in a constant state of hyper vigilance or being overly sensitive to any number of stimuli triggers that will throw you into an anxiety attack in a worst case scenario. So it's best to get into see a therapist appropriate to your needs as soon as possible so you can skip to the important part and figure out how to identify, discuss, and resolve the problematic bits. And remember, therapy is a safe place to express yourself in confidence and that your feelings and experiences are 100% valid and real. 😊💚 I was misdiagnosed as "Unipolar" or "major depressive disorder" depending on what doctor I had seen. Took me years before I was finally diagnosed with BPD. It's difficult to get a formal diagnosis unless a person displays a minimum of 5 out of 9 criteria requirements for the diagnosis. BPD is a mood and emotional dysregulation disorder. Due to the dysregulation, this makes us impulsive and hyper emotional/sensitive towards others with a irrational fear of abandonment. My brother was diagnosed with type 2 Bipolar when he was younger. He's doing much better now, but it was rough in the beginning for him. He would be in a manic phase and giddy, then crash and sit bawling his eyes out. But his would last weeks with his manic phases while my emotions would change within hours of each other in emotional highs and lows.

    @FerzzyYou're quite welcome! 😊 well mood disorders can be managed through mood stabilizing medications as well as cognitive behavioral therapy to help reframe negative thoughts so that the patient can work on their self-awareness, building up their positive self-talk and self-esteem. With personality disorders, they require intensive Dialectical behavioral therapy so that they can learn to better handle their own behaviors, self-talk, and how they can learn to interact in an ethical manner toward others outside of themselves. DBT is specifically designed for personality disorders treatment. It's a 3 month long group therapy where each patient is there to help support themselves and each other and to hold each other accountable for their actions in an honest manner with ourselves and others. (I'm a patient in this particular therapy style). From my experience, it's very useful and does work so long as the patient sticks it out and actually wants to better themselves. Which is true for all therapy types; it will only work if *you* want it to work and you're open to change occurring internally within you.

    Got to be honest, this master manipulator role often landed to me in many cases. Yes, someone has to do this sort of job at times.. It doesn't always seem bad... Most of the time, despite my protests, I am dragged into a position where people insisted me to lead them. I don't like leadership but mostly I am dragged into it. So yeah, I often ask what their expectations, and I just don't offer my opinion unless needed.. I usually ask others with wide smile and politely and they would just go with my plan... And when I had a conflict with some selfish people in the community, most people backed me up even when I did not rally everyone to do it. But then again, I don't want to do everything for my own gain. Yes, I could be manipulative but I do that in accordance to people's expectations. And yes I keep asking others what they think as well... Sometimes being manipulative is needed in order to get people agree for a greater good. By the way, I suppose master manipulator can also be seen as "master strategist" too because part of strategize process is... To manipulate the factors against us to be used for our gain

I mean, observing structures, for example social structures and being fascinated by trying to crack the code or understanding the system in combination with an own set of morals which often do not follow common belief seems like a solid foundation for a manipulator. If you add "thinking of yourself as smarter than others", that seems almost predetermined...

Personally, I really appreciate and honor honesty. so when I sense some lie or falsehood from someone, a manipulation in action, i always question their statement and avoid interacting with them if they can't be honest about their intentions. Our difference is probably how we use the knowledge of social structure. While you play the game, i prefer to warn people not to play the game.

    I work with this type of person. For a time it was like torture, dude always tried to embarass me in front of other co-workers (especially when we had new ones for training), but later on I guess he realized that I'm not an enemy. We had many moments where I was just seconds from snapping, when it was noticeable, he suddenly stopped. This willingness to do psychological damage - instead of physical as you would normally expect out of someone who wants to hurt others - seems so devious to me. The guy is basically like a Chihuahua. Big talk, all the time, doesn't shut up. He must've went through a lot, but I'm not feeling sorry for him a bit after all I went through with him. I never really disliked anyone, I always tried to find something on a person to like, find a way to connect. With him, there's only co-existence. If anyone who's reading this is struggling with a similar person, know that what helped me was seeking a therapist and sharing it with my other co-workers. (In your case, it can be friends, family, classmates, anyone) Until I told them, I thought I was in the wrong, but I know I'm not. And I know you are not either. Share what you're feeling with someone, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and know that IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

He ofc continued even after that, despite having pleaded that he hadnt understood how bad I was hurting and blaha. In reality he would tell me the most awful things about me and then smirk and wait for a reaction (he never got one, my intuition told me not to react so I waited until he left to break down) When I confronted him about it and asked why he told me he was after my reaction, he would blame it on the tv. "I saw it on hannibal, I didnt mean anything by it" Manipulative people are MONSTERS. They have NO empathy which is why they can lie so easily, no empathy and NO consciousness.

    3:55 love the Remarried Empress reference!! Yeah I saw a few people who said that if Trashta was the MC we would hate Navier, but I disagree because she is very manipulative and we would've known from the start if that's the case.

    What I find particularly difficult, is when others perceive you as manipulative, but you sincerely don't do so on purpose. Ultimately it feels like you're involuntarily toxic to the people around you. For instance, as someone with ASD, social interactions are very hard and draining on me. Especially when I have to put on a mask to act socially desirable. As such, when I'm in my private, comfort environment, it becomes outright impossible for me to "fake" anymore. Meaning the loved ones who see me in my direct environment tend to see me at my worst; when I'm crying, when I'm clearly angry or moody, completely drained of energy or freaking out about stuff. Sometimes that gets me accused of manipulation in order to get my way, or to get sympathy from others. But by all means, other than just avoiding everyone altogether, I don't know what I can do to "not" make them feel that way. I hate having them see me that way as much as it must be unpleasant for them, but I cannot prevent it. Also, when I truly have a breakdown, I reach a point where I become outright mute. It's weird and scary to me as well, it's like I forget how to talk. Like I can think of words, but they won't come out of my mouth. I just become completely unresponsive. These breakdowns always happen in situations where there's a lot of stress and anxiety, so often during fights with others. These people then take it as "me giving them the silent treatment" while again, it's not like I deliberately "ignore" them. Even when I explain my issues to someone, it is something that's incomprehensible to them, so such situations keep on being upsetting to them regardless. Overall it's truly frustrating when you want to work through your issues, fail to do so, and know you're impacting the loved ones around you negatively in the process.

    Since you’re self aware that you are difficult to have a friendship with because of these draining traits, you can use that self awareness as a launching pad to make slow incremental change. Perhaps a therapist would be better, but lots of times friends are willing to stick it out if there’s improvement, because they genuinely want what’s best for you, they just have their limits (everyone does). What this would mean is when you know you have behaved in a way that exhausts, stresses, or otherwise negatively affected your friends, you must spend at least an equal if not greater amount of time where it’s not about you. You ask them about their life, problems, feelings, what they need. You listen and empathize, you offer help and keep your thoughts away from you and your issues and give them the floor. This will recharge the friendship battery so it’s not so one sided. They will feel cared for if you take the actions necessary to care for them. If you don’t do this, you will start to see they care for you less and less. It’s hard to continue to care about someone and offer support when it’s not experienced as reciprocal. If YOU were venting about a difficult relationship that you had with someone where the other persons mental health was in worse condition than yours, and so you had to deal with all sorts of issues due to the health difference, your friends would notice the affect it had on you over time and compel you to leave because it would be negatively affecting YOUR mental health, even if the person you were with wasn’t a bad person. That is what friends should do for each other. Help us see pictures clearly and push us to make the right decision even when it’s not easy. You may believe that you care about your friends but that won’t matter if they can’t feel it, and you will know that they feel it when you make the effort truly and fully. If you don’t they will eventually conclude that either you can’t reciprocate or you don’t consider the friendship worth the effort to keep. And they’ll be right. Relationships to other people that are healthy and mutually beneficial are the best way to get your mental health under control. They will not be offered to you as gifts because they can’t. You have to be actively making them healthy even in your state of low health. It’s hard, but it’s worth trying, and you will get better and better at it with practice. Good luck.

Tried a variety of things; A psychologist, cognitive-behavioural therapist, hippotherapy, 2 different psychiatrists, had a longer period intake in a mental health hospital, and support from other specialized instances, to no avail. Your advice is good and definitely something that aids in showing your loved ones "see, I'm trying!" But the drawback is that, overtime you lose faith that any of these things really help you (I've been trying for so long, so many different things, and nothing has changed), and you really seek out therapy for the sole reason of "this way others can't tell me -you are not even trying-"
